Equipping and Securing Your Mobile Workforce

Almost 40% of the global workforce is mobile and this percentage is only going to increase in the coming years. Globalization, digitization, increasing customer demands are few of the reasons why more and more organizations expect their employees to be able to work from anywhere, anytime, and in any way that they need to. But this flexibility poses newer challenges to the IT departments as they need to ensure that the company data and network is safe and impenetrable.

The key elements for optimum mobile device performance are: powerful processors, resilient operating system, immersive graphics, adequate RAM, large display, and long battery life. Lenovo devices score high on all these aspects, so you never have to compromise on device performance again.

The ThinkPad X1 Series gives you the horsepower to handle heavy tasks and battery life to last all day. The ThinkPad X1 Carbon and X1 Yoga can last up to 15 hours and can charge up to 80% in less than an hour.

Apart from the heavy duty performance features, the X1 devices also take care of the finer details to ensure maximum productivity, like:

Reduces the amount of blue light that is emitted from the display and helps reduce eye fatigue.

Flexibility

Our devices ensure flexibility to keep up with modern collaboration options. Workforce mobility can be facilitated through:

Self-service Support Options: boost the value of your mobile devices with Lenovo’s accessories ecosystem. Connect ultrabooks and laptops to multiple monitors for better visualization and multitasking. Or attach a wave keyboard for more comfortable and accurate typing experience.

Docking Options: experience easy portability for the ThinkPad X1 Series, ThinkPad T Series, ThinkPad P Series, ThinkPad X Series, and Lenovo V Series devices as they include the ThinkPad Thunderbolt™ 3. Connect a cable from your USB Type-C port to a Thunderbolt™ 3-enabled device, and get four times the data and twice the video bandwidth of any other port type, while also supplying power. So you get Thunderbolt™, USB Type-C, and DisplayPort. Plus, you can even output to two 4K displays with the Thunderbolt™ Dock

High-quality User Experiences: enjoy multiple modes for a comfortable working experience on convertibles

Connectivity

Connectivity is the heart of productivity. Our devices keep you up and running even if you are out of WiFi range. Fast mobile broadband ensures users are always connected to all their data and apps in the Cloud:

LTE-A (4G): even when WiFi is out of range, the optional Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ X7 LTE-A means users always have connectivity and access to all their data and apps in the Cloud

Near Field Communication (NFC): Bluetooth-like feature to facilitate data transfers to nearby devices. To break in through an NFC signal, a user needs to be physically close to the company’s PC and have the right NFC tag

Reliable Durability

Just because the devices are sleek and good looking doesn't mean they have to compromise on durability. End computing devices should be an extension of the end user and should be able to adapt to their requirements.

The lightness, ruggedity, strength, and feel of a laptop are highly influenced by the type and mix of materials used. Lenovo prides itself on using superior materials:

The carbon fiber used in ThinkPads offers superior strength and rigidity

The grade of carbon fiber used is the same as that used on satellites with 1/3rd the weight of Aluminum and 50% more strength than Magnesium at almost 1/2 the weight

For parts like the palm rest area, which are subjected to extra stress, we use Magnesium, which provides maximum strength

To ensure a strong signal strength for a seamless wireless experience, the antennas in the palm rest area are made up of metal mesh and gold plated shielding

The benefits:

Optimal balance of strength and lightness

Superior performance of all wireless features

Premium finish, feel, and paint durability

Extended resistance to physical wear and tear

Innovative technology is about using proven techniques in new and creative ways to solve genuine user problems, address electronic, and mechanical design challenges, and enhance features, and functions of the operating system. Innovative technology in PCs should influence features like design and user input systems, performance, reliability and durability, thinness, lightness, cooling and heat dissipation, wireless performance, and overall user safety.

Here are Lenovo’s latest innovations that will have a big impact on business users:

User Input

Precision touchpad and Wave keyboard on convertibles and 2-in-1s for easy usability in various modes.

For users who work on the go, it’s important to have PCs that can perform consistently in all conditions and can withstand anything from accidental drops to extreme temperatures.

ThinkPads go through a battery of tests and comprise some trademark features that make them more reliable.

MIL-SPEC Tested

With four layers of carbon-fiber reinforced chassis and a magnesium alloy roll cage for added strength, we’ve engineered our devices to handle whatever comes your way. From spilled drinks, to drops and knocks, these devices are tested against 12 military-grade requirements and pass more than 200 durability tests.

Intelligent Sensing and Cooling

Lenovo’s in-built Intelligent Sensing and Cooling system helps to reduce heat and ensure user comfort while working with the ThinkPad placed on the lap. It uses the on board accelerometer to detect the mode of usage and vary power consumption to deliver effective cooling levels which allows ThinkPads to be up to 15% cooler and 10% quieter.

Owl Wing Fan

ThinkPads have the new 8th Generation, patented owl wing inspired fans which churn out 38% more airflow and 15% better thermal performance over previous generations to ensure it is dustless for enhanced reliability.

SmartBeep Technology

Lenovo’s SmartBeep technology allows you to quickly identify the nature of any problem with a simple smartphone app for faster resolutions. A series of musical tones are produced by ThinkPad Intelligent Diagnostics which are interpreted by the smartphone app to show precisely the origin and nature of issue for faster resolution.

Discrete TPM Security

All models of the ThinkPad now have a discrete TPM 2.0 hardware security chip with TCG certification. The dTPM 2.0 chip encrypts user data on the PC.

360o Security

Just because the employees have the flexibility to work from anywhere and have access to organizational resources at all times, doesn't mean that the IT departments should be burdened to enable this.

Lenovo's biometric fingerprint recognition ensures simplified access management and robust security. Leading in multifactor authentication, Lenovo also offers the following features in its devices:

Match on Chip (MoC) Fingerprint Reader technology in which biometric credentials are stored on a separate chip, making it almost impossible to hack into

Further protect identity and secure data with Intel® Authenticate
